You are such a blessing, I'm going in for back surgery in 1 week, and I'm so worried about coming home and being on my own. Thanks for a ton of great things to do or buy to help with post surgery.
Atlee, thank you so much for taking your time and energy to make this video, and for caring to help others. I will have surgery in 6 days and I love all your suggestions. You are correct that it will make my stay and experience better. Thank you!
Practice getting up from bed without bending your back. You must slide or roll and swivel your feet to the floor and then bend you knees. This is very important as you wint be able to bend normally after surgery. Practice sitting up from a chair as well or eating from a coffee table and kneeling in front of it. This is much easier on the back because you can keep it straight.
Thank you soooo much for your videos. I have surgery for L3 - S1 in 6 weeks and your videos are the clearest and most comprehensive of the many I have been viewing. Your presentation is amazing and I really appreciate the additional women’s point of view. Glad to see your amazing recovery immedtiate post-op, few weeks and few months, as well as 2 years in your other videos. They are all so helpful and I wish you the best of continued good health. I can’t thank you enough! ❤❤❤❤❤
I had my neck fused, everyone is different but I want you to know my experience was no pain, just total relief afterwards. I am now about to get L4-5 fused next week, I am scared but after having a couple experiences when I could not walk for a week at a time and ending up in the ER, I am ready to get better.
